I tried doing a speedrun by skipping trainers and ended up walled by Brimber City's level jump:

and I suppose why there's more than 2 times as many Silvent badgeholders as there are brimber. Yes, I always try to skip trainers and have only one pokemon able to battle gyms until I ended up at anthian gym where every pokemon are level around 40-50 while my greninja(only one mon) is just 46.
